Last night, Notis Christodoulou was a guest on Grigoris Arnaoutoglou's show. The "Fame Story" winner opened his heart to the host and talked about the death of his mother who did not accept that he is gay.
The singer first talked about what he does today and specifically what he does for a living: "I decided to work on my talent, on my self-healing, on this space which is the design space. Before Fame Story I was working at the biggest advertising agency as a set designer. I had worked with very important directors. I had slept on sets. I was sleeping on set at 17 to prepare the set for tomorrow's shoot. For the last ten years of my life I've been doing what I wanted to do and what comes to me effortlessly (...) I've done sets at the Athens Concert Hall. I have done set design for Dimitra Galani, Natasha Bofiliou, Eleftheria Arvanitaki."
The acceptance he did not receive from his mother
Notis Christodoulou spoke about the moment he decided to talk about his personal choices to his mother: "At 25 I told my mother my truth. When I found a man with whom we lived together for 16 years wonderfully. So at the beginning of our relationship and when I realized that this man was a gem for me I wanted to tell my mother. My mother carried what she was nurtured with by her own mother. She said 'thank you for telling me, I can't accept it and I pretend to forget it'."
"I saw my father twice in my life."
Notis Christodoulou also spoke about his father who is no longer alive: "I saw my father twice in my life. I'm putting X. I would have preferred a thousand times to have a gay father who would have supported me and loved me and been a companion in my life. If we take my whole path I'm retreating from both singing and television to find validation from my family. It was the need for validation. The need was for my mother to tell me I accept you as you are and I'm here for you."
Revealing his final moments with his mother[BR]"I felt a tremendous sadness and a tremendous anger that this man never accepted me. I will say something that I have only told my friends and I am touched to say it now, while 15 years he did not accept me, the last words he heard from my mother was to pick up her phone saying: "Can you call your boyfriend for me?" And she said his name. And I said, come on mom please, he's called the whole world. Be good. I go home to take a bath and come back and on the way I find out that he has had a heart attack," said Notis Christodoulou about the last moment with his mother.
